New article (link in comments). "Amritpal’s petitions have argued that his forced absence from Parliament disenfranchises Khadoor Sahib ... Unfortunately for Khadoor Sahib: in India, the disenfranchisement of entire constituencies is not a constitutional problem."

“The ideal Sikh is the happy Sikh, the Sikh who is content with the place he occupies in his cosmos, who respects and believes in his superior officers, who does not consider himself unjustly treated, and who has received no injury to his self-esteem. For the virtuous ingredients in his composition are subject to reaction. When he fancies he is wronged, he broods. The milk in him becomes gall. The ‘waters of life’ stirred by steel, his baptismal draught, take on an acid potency. ‘I’d rather command Sikhs than any other class of sepoy,’ a brigadier told me, and he had commanded every imaginable class of sepoy for twenty years, ‘but they must be happy Sikhs,’ he added. The brooding or intriguing Sikh is a nuisance and a danger.” - Edmund Candler, The Sepoy (1919), p. 32.

Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Abchalnagar Sahib was not a fully developed shrine until Maharaja Ranjit Singh patronised its construction more than a century after its original foundation. There is no contemporary evidence placing it above Sri Ramdaspur in importance, beyond a later tradition recording a curse that whoever built a memorial over the site would see their lineage vanish from the earth - a fate Ranjit Singh is said to have accepted without hesitation. It was for the sarovar of Sri Darbar Sahib in Sri Amritsar that Sikhs, over the centuries, shed rivers of blood.

Holi in Gurbani: माघ बितीत भए रुति फागुन आइ गई सभ खेलत होरी Magha went, came season of Phalguna, all began to play Holi. गावत गीत बजावत ताल कहै मुख ते भरूआ मिलि होरी Sang songs, played drums, embraced each other tight. डारत है अलिता बनिता छटिका संगि मारत बैसन थोरी Women splashed with various colors & beat men playfully with bamboo staff. खेलत स्याम धमार अनूप महा मिलि सुंदरि सावल गोरी Says poet [GuruGobindSingh], the play is explosive, sublime, grand & beautiful between dusky Krishna & the lasses.

L: Volume 3 of Umdat-ut-Twarikh records that in 1832, Sikhs dispatched a battalion toward Anandpur where it was expected a Nihang gathering would be held during “Holi days.” R: Poetry written by Nirmala Sant Nihal Singh in 1876 describing “Holla,” published posthumously in 1902.

@Sandhu_Kdeep1 Please provide evidence for this claim “Holla Mohalla was actively celebrated .. during Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s time in the early 1800s.” A proper reference. Not a screenshot from some Khalistani blog.

The Battle of Sobrāon was fought 180 years ago today between the Sikh Khālsā army and the troops of the East India Company. “In all the previous actions in which I had taken part, one or two volleys at short range were as much as the Sirkar’s enemies could stand; but these Sikhs gave volley for volley, and never gave way until nearly decimated. They had their infantry placed between, and behind, their artillery, and their fire was terrible - such as no sepoy has ever had to endure. The Sirkar’s guns were almost silenced and the ammunition wagons exploded. I saw two or three European regiments driven back by the weight of artillery fire which rained down on us like a monsoon downpour. They fell into confusion, and several sepoy regiments did the same. One European regiment was annihilated - totally swept away - and I now thought the Sirkar’s army would be overpowered. Fear filled the minds of many of us.

The correct take on the Devi—what many like Sahani don’t understand is that her presence in Sikh literature functions almost entirely to justify the relentless and at times amoral pursuit of power by the Sikhs.

“The Khālsājī army had acquired a formidable reputation, having been drilled by French sāhibs and equipped with muskets comparable to those of the Sarkār’s (East India Company) army. Their artillery was immense. Most sepoy regiments were reluctant to fight the Sikhs (Khālsājī), but the presence of several European regiments in the force gave the sepoys greater confidence.” - Sita Ram Pande, Purbiya Subedar, From Sepoy to Subedar: Memoirs of a Native Officer of the Bengal Army, p. 136. Written with reference to the opening phase of the First Anglo Sikh War (1845).

It is important to note that despite repeated mass violence against Sikhs from 1982, the Army assault on Sri Darbar Sahib in June 1984, and the organised pogroms that followed across Hindu-majority states and cities, there is not a single recorded instance of Sikhs organising mobs to attack Hindus in Sikh-majority areas of Punjab.

Yes, “Bharat” is a sovereign nation that may do as she pleases. But if that’s the case then just say that, @vineetJindal19. Don’t besmirch the practice of law by pretending Amritpal’s continued detaining is valid under the Indian Constitution—be proud of your demagoguery!

It should not be forgotten that even Engineer Rashid, currently in Tihar Jail for a bomb case, is allowed to represent Baramulla in Parliament. And the hundreds of MPs booked on criminal charges. But the likes of Vineet appear to think Sikh politicians merit special exclusion.

Absolute insanity. Amritpal was duly elected by Khadur Sahib before his NSA detention was renewed with no valid basis in June of 2024. And now an Indian Supreme Court advocate is OPENLY admitting Amritpal is being kept in Dibrugarh to be kept out of Parliament! Utter idiocracy.
Adv.Vineet Jindal@vineetJindal19

I remember that Amritpal once abused me for my efforts to seek action against him under the NSA and called him Terrorist. After his arrest, his supporters threatened to kill me. He is a separatist who wants to break our Bharat, just like terrorist Pannu. Now he is seeking permission to attend the Bharat Parliament proceedings—for what purpose? To further push his separatist agenda and violent ideology. He is a threat to Bharat and should remain in prison for lifetime.

Baba Deep Singh liberated Harmandir Sahib in November 1757. In April 1758, the Mughal-Marhatta-Sikh coalition took Lahore; from that victory, the Sikhs compelled Afghan prisoners to repair the Darbar Sahib. Contemporary Sikh sources instead portray the Marhattas as Mughal auxiliaries, motivated by plunder, collaborating with Mughal officials against the authority of the Śrī Gurū Khālsā Panth, and proving incapable of resisting repeated Afghan incursions. The record does not sustain the claim that they ever supported the Sikhs or funded the rebuilding of the Darbar Sahib; if anything, it depicts them as hostile to Sikh interests and sacred institutions, little different in conduct from Mughal or Afghan forces.

Rattan Singh describes the Maratha-Mughal-Sikh alliance to conquer Lahore - it was an uneasy and chaotic one, where each party had differences and only came together to vanquish a similar enemy. The Marathas are considered as coming under Mughal wishes - not servants of Dharam.

"Now organised into well-disciplined peasant societies known as the Akali Dal. Their programme was access to land, free of rent, and taxes, and their tactics that of passive resistance... in the shape of non-payment of rent and taxes." - The Communist (1922) on the Akali Dal.

The authority of the Akāl Takhat has never rested on coercion or political convenience. It has rested on recognised moral jurisdiction within the Śrī Gurū Khālsā Panth. Its hukamnamās were issued where Sikh rehat, sanctity or collective sovereignty were judged to have been violated, deriving force from Panthic legitimacy rather than state power.
